[KLD] Rashmi, Eternities Crafter

This is an analog to Jori En. Although it's more expensive and doesn't replace itself the turn it comes into play, on the long run it's waaaay better. Even if you never reveal a card with lower cost than what you play, you'll always draw 1 from whatever you play.
I think this is insane. I'm not sure it's casting cost allows Vintage playability, specially when you can just play Mentor and win, but this isn't taking Mentor slots, but maybe other draw engines. They theoretical Leovold BUG deck got a new friend?

This card looks absolutely nutty to me if you manage to get it into play. It's miles easier to trigger than Jori En and you will be able to cast the spell for free a nontrivial amount of the time, thanks to expensive alternate cost staples like Force of Will, Gush, Dig Through Time, Ingot Chewer, etc. Add Sensei's Divining Top for even greater absurdity.

This card reminds me quite a bit of Magus of the Future, and like Magus, isn't really great outside of the blue mirror.

With some more time to think about this card, here are some advantages/disadvantages I'm observing:

It's kind of like a recurring cascade with an upside to just keep drawing cards if you play a Mox or something.

It works on each turn. Cast a counterspell on your opponents turn? Get a card. If that spell is a FoW, then reveal and put Leovold into play for free? That seems like some serious value.

3 Toughness is really hard to embrace.

Mana cost is also kind of high, but it can be supported with Moxen and DRS, which is also an Elf.

Gush being 5 mana opens a ton of doors for value, not to mention filling your hand and leaving you mana to boot.

I look forward to giving this card a try in non-White Blue decks... maybe even with Gush. Kiora 1.0 might have a new friend. Vintage playable? Perhaps not, but it looks fun as heck to play.

I think you misunderstand the card.

Ad1) If you play a mox and reveal a card with a higher CMC you don't get to put it into your hand. The revealed card has to have a CMC lower than the card you play. Then you get to cast it for free but if you don't, it goes into your hand.

Ad2) It doesn't work that way. You obviously can't play non-instants at an instant speed all of a sudden.

All the last sentence says is if you don't cast the revealed card, put it into your hand. So you can put any card you reveal off of this into your hand. Even if you play a mox and reveal a gush you can't cast the gush for free, but you put it into your hand. It only cares about the CMC of the card if you're trying to cast it.

It says you can cast it without paying its mana cost, this is similar to miracles or cascade were the ability lets you cast it right at that moment even if normal timing would prevent it. So just like in legacy where you can cast a sorcery terminus in your opponents combat step, or when you cascade into tarmogoyf and can cast it even though there is a shardless agent on the stack, you can cast a monastery mentor at end of your opponents turn if you reveal this after you cast a dig through time.

I think the only thing which prevents this from being totally OP in formats with free/cheap spells, is that it is a creature and can get interacted with easily. I wonder if Mindbreak Trap becomes a MD staple again? Jace is good, but that gal draws more cards and cheats mana.

Hrm. It's Joru En on steriods; you draw each turn and occasionally also produce mana. Card seems really screwy... but it does cost four, so... I'm not sold. We've seen utility creatures at four before, like Notion Theif, but not in large numbers.
